21、Speaking a native language that requires tones appears to boost perception of melody (旋律), but at the cost of rhythm, researchers report April 26 in Current Biology. The massive global study shows how language skills affect other areas of cognition.

Tonal languages (声调语言) use pitch (音高) to pronounce words differently that otherwise might sound the same. In Mandarin, for instance, ma means horse while ma means mother. Nontonal languages like Spanish sometimes include pitch changes to suggest emotion, for example, but not to change a word’s meaning.

As a Mandarin speaker and flutist, Jingxuan Liu wondered about the relation between language and music. While studying psychology as an undergraduate at Duke University, Liu helped analyze the musical abilities of nearly half a million people from 203 countries. Her colleagues had launched an online game in which participants completed several musical tasks, including identifying matching melodies at different pitches and finding beat tracks that fit songs’ rhythms.

On average, native speakers of the 19 represented tonal languages were better at the melody task compared with speakers of 29 nontonal languages. And the effect wasn’t small - atonal first language enhanced melodic perception by about half the amount that music lessons did, which was also surveyed. But tonal language speakers tended to be worse at the rhythm task.

Humans must be choosy about what they pay attention to. Pitch patterns are vital in tonal languages, which might explain the musical trade-off. “You’ve got a limited resource of attention, and you’ve got to allocate that somehow,” says study coauthor Courtney Hilton, a cognitive scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Prior research on language and music often compared just two tongues, usually English and Cantonese or Mandarin. But other cultural influences, such as Eastern and Western music styles, could have affected results. By examining a wide range of people, the new study included languages never assessed in this way and reached more general conclusions.

“Our result here is showing that the language someone speaks -which is an important part of culture—also shapes cognition,” Hilton says.

【1】Why is pitch used in tonal languages?

A．To distinguish words.

B．To produce similar sounds.

C．To suggest emotion.

D．To clarify a word’s meaning.

【2】What can we learn from Jingxuan Liu’s study?

A．Speakers of tonal languages are good at music.

B．Speakers of nontonal languages are better at rhythm.

C．Languages make no difference to melodic perception.

D．Nontonal languages are comparable to tonal languages.

【3】What is Courtney Hilton’s attitude towards the study?

A．Doubtful.

B．Dismissive.

C．Approving.

D．Cautious.

【4】Which can be the best title for the passage?

A．Prior research, new findings

B．Music or culture: a dilemma

C．Who is to blame for poor language skills?

D．What accounts for different musical abilities?

22、KING LEAR Act 3

NARRATOR: As soon as Goneril has got all she can from her father, she begins treating him disrespectfully. When Lear wants to speak to her, Goneril tells her servant, Oswald, to say she is sick. She encourages her staff to be disrespectful towards Lear and begins complaining about the hundred soldiers Lear has brought with him. However, King Lear soon has a friend by his side. The Duke of Kent, who Lear ordered to leave Britain, cannot abandon his king. He therefore comes to Lear disguised（伪装） as a servant called Caius and asks for a job.

(Enter Lear, several of Lear's soldiers and Kent disguised as a servant.)

LEAR: OK, Caius. I'll give you a trial. And if you prove to be good at your job, I'll keep you on as my servant. (Oswald enters.) Hey, you there. Where's my daughter? (Oswald ignores the king and hurries out of the room.) Hey. What's going on? Call him back. Is he deaf? (A Soldier rushes out after Oswald.) It's as though the whole world has gone to sleep. (Soldier reenters.) Where's that servant? Why didn’t he come back when I called?

SOLDIER: Sir, he answered me very rudely and said he would not come back. LEAR: I don’t believe it!

SOLDIER: Sir, I am sorry, to tell you this, but it seems to me that you are not being treated with the respect due to a king. Everyone here, including your daughter, is behaving very coldly towards you.

LEAR:Mmm. I suspected the same, but I kept telling myself it was my imagination. Please tell my daughter I wish to speak with her. (Soldier bows and leaves. Oswald enters.) Ah, come here my man and answer me. Who am I?

OSWALD: My lady's father.

LEAR: Your lady's father? Is that all I am to you, you dog, you slave! (Lear raises his arm as though to strike Oswald.)

OSWALD: I'll not be hit, my Lord.

KENT: (Kent kicks Oswald's feet out from under him.) And you won't be laid flat on your back either, I suppose. Now get up and get out of here. (Oswald leaves.)

LEAR: My thanks, Caius. I can see you will be a most valuable servant.

(Enter Goneril.) What's up, daughter? You always seem to be frowning lately.

GONERIL: Is it any wonder that I frown when your soldiers are continually drinking and fighting? I thought when I told you about their behaviour you would make them behave, but now I hear you have insulted（侮辱）Oswald. I do believe you are encouraging your soldiers in their bad behaviour.

LEAR: Is this my daughter scolding me?

GONERIL: I have had enough of your soldiers. They are expensive to keep and you don't need them. Besides, their drunken behaviour and bad manners are disgusting. You will send half of them away. And unless you want me to get rid of the rest of them too, I suggest you teach them how to behave properly.

LEAR: That's a lie. My soldiers are good men who know how to behave properly. I won't stay here to be insulted. I still have one more daughter. She'll scratch out your eyes when she hears how you've treated me. Men! Get my horses ready and collect my baggage. I'll leave immediately. I won't stay where I'm not welcome. (Lear and companions leave.)

NARRATOR: Lear sends Kent on ahead to the castle of his other daughter, Regan, to tell her that he will soon be arriving. Goneril sends her servant Oswald to Regan to tell her side of the story.

23、   Landslides ( 山体滑坡 ) occur when large amounts of wet debris ( 碎片 ), including rocks, earth, and trees, slide down a slope ( 斜坡 ). They may occur as a result of fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, storms, or human activities. Landslides are particularly dangerous because they strike suddenly, move at extremely high speeds, and travel long distances. Although landslides are often difficult to predict, you can prepare for a landslide by following proper safety rules, ensure that you’re familiar with the warning signs, and making an emergency plan.

Become familiar with the land around where you live and work so that you understand your risk in different situations.

Learn about local emergency response plans.

Stay alert and awake in danger. Many deaths from landslides occur while people are sleeping.

Listen for unusual sounds that might indicate moving debris, such as trees cracking ( 爆裂声 ). If you are near a stream or river, be watchful for any sudden increase or decrease in water flow and notice whether the water changes from clear to muddy. Such changes may mean there is debris flow activity upstream, so be prepared to move quickly.

Listen to local news stations on a battery-powered radio for warnings of heavy rainfall.

Consider leaving if it is safe to do so.

If you suspect a danger, evacuate ( 撤退) immediately. Inform your neighbours if you can, and contact your public works, fire or police department.

Be especially alert when driving-watch for collapsed pavement, mud, fallen rocks and other indications of possible debris flow.

Talk to everyone in your family what to do if a landslide occurs. Create and practise an evacuation plan for your family and your business.

【1】Which of the following is true about landslide?

A．It strikes slowly.

B．It can be easily predicted.

C．Too much debris causes damage.

D．You needn’t prepare for it.

【2】Which may NOT the sign of landslide?

25、Has someone ever told you something that made you doubt your own memory or judgment? If so, you may be a ______ of gaslighting. “Gaslighting” is a kind of psychological abuse to gain ______ over others by purposely making other people think they’re wrong even when they’re right. The term comes from Patrick Hamilton’s play in 1938. Lead character Jack Manningham seeks to convince his wife Bella that she is ______, by saying she is imagining the dimming (变暗) of the gas light in their home, when it was actually he who lowered the brightness of the light.

Gaslighting is initially used to talk about what happens in romantic relationships. However, many individuals also experience gaslighting at work. ______, a recent survey has found that 58% of the respondents said they have experienced gaslighting at work. It’s ______ since gaslighting usually involves a power relationship and a need to control others. In the workplace, the ______ between a boss and his employee can be the perfect breeding (滋生的) ground for this type of behavior. Your boss might tell you to handle an assignment in a certain way, but when you do, he gets ______ and says it wasn’t what he wanted. It makes you feel like your memory is ______. In other situations, your boss may exclude you from a meeting ______ and when you ask him about it, he might accuse you of being too sensitive instead of answering your question directly.

In order to find out whether your boss’s behavior really ______ gaslighting or he is just a poor communicator, you could write down your experiences and ask yourself what really happened, what his motives might have been, and how your emotion was ______. But always be careful because gaslighters know how to fly under the radar (雷达). They are skilled at weakening an employee’s confidence and sense of reality in a clever and ______ way.

To protect yourself, at the end of the conversation with your boss, repeat back what you heard and follow up with an e-mail restating the main points, ______ the interactions between you two. But don’t get your hopes high that this will automatically solve the problem, Robin Stern, author of The Gaslight Effect, warns, because it’s hard to get a gaslighter to ______ his behavior pattern. If things don’t improve, you may want to consider getting out of the gaslighting situation by looking for a new position. It may be one of the best things you can do for your ______ well-being.
